Hardware Weight

Hi to all...
Happy New year to all forum members...

I have one query...
Why Caesar should not take the effect of Hardware Wight ( Attached to Spring, Hanger ).

How it affect the system ?
Or Who is the responsible in a piping team to take care of these additional factors.
Thanks

c2 has no way of knowing what the hardware weight might be. If it is significant you should consider it. The best way to do this is to add a dummy rigid element at the hanger node location with the additional weight.
